Assistant Professor

Qualification : PhD (University of Turin, Italy)

Specialization : Molecular Medicine, Transcriptomics, Functional Genomics, Microarray data analysis

Experience : 8-Years

Dr. Singh has worked on Breast and colon cancer project where he developed gene signature predictive of response to hormonal neoadjuvant treatment. Currently he is analysing genomics and transcriptomic data to infer gene interaction landscape of diabetic patients. He is also involved in analysing of common genetic variants in age stratified population for possible association with diabetes. The long term research inters test of Dr. Singh is to develop bioinformatics pipelines to automate the clinical report generation from genomic data (WGS/WES) .
